Living in Art

I love this place… I need to visit their new location. I miss having them in Midtown.

Their elegant sidewalk presence drew me in to the store. It’s clear Patrick has a passion for what he does and is very involved in all aspects of his business. We chatted for a while and he helped show me different pieces I was interested, followed me around to help take pics of what I liked and emailed them to me. They carry beautiful and unique handmade imported pieces. I highly suggest stopping by and looking around. I will definitely be back and have some friends to bring with me.

I Can you say Buddha Haven?!? WOW! This place had so many beautiful Buddha’s to look at. I wished I could have brought home all the mystical pieces with me.
I was on a Buddha scavenger hunt one Saturday and I drove by this store a ton of times when it was in Midtown. They moved in the last few months or so to a location farther down on Biscayne.
Since being so curious about this store and the mindset of trying to find a quality Buddha I decided to check this place out. Parking is in the back and immediately you will notice the Buddha’s in the back of the store. Amazing. Beautiful. The store inside had many different Buddha’s. The craftsmanship itself was so intricate and precise and of course just simply beautiful. I planned to buy something but the they are pretty pricey. The one I wanted was in the range of $ 350 and it was maybe 12 inches or so in height. The owner of the store told me they were hand carved and painted from Bali. I knew the quality was more than the regular Buddha’s I have picked up around town.
They have a many Buddha’s & paintings to select from and all different price ranges. I didn’t pick up a Buddha that day (but I do plan to save my dollars and purchase one of these beautiful pieces) but I did buy some incense and a traditional Yoga Mat. The Mat itself intrigued me as it was the traditional fabric mat they use in Yoga — not the rubber mats we use here in the US. I picked up 2 OM mats and was happy with my purchase.

Robert, the owner and his son go out of their way to help you! What great quality real wood, not press board or veneers. AMAZING quality!!!

Do not shop here! I agree with Irene. Worst customer experience. Dishonest. Promised by Robert that someone would assist with putting heavy merchandise in my car. Arranged a specify time to be there. When I arrived there was no one to put merchandise in car. Patrick said I could pay for delivery, but that I did not deserve to have the buddha. He was very rude. I received a refund and would recommend you not shop at this dishonest place. They have bad karma. Stay away!

Dominantly SE Asian and Indian, you may find it here at Living Art.

Simply Unique. That’s how I would describe this store.
It is a fascinating store to wander around. They have nice interior furnishings. They definitely have one of a kind pieces. I’m not sure the pieces would go with everyone’s aesthetics of the house. But if you want to decorate a room with a unique item or conversation piece, you will find some treasure like that in this store.
Most of their items are from different Asian countries. I liked their wood tables, which were made in a way to preserve the material in a natural manner and highlight it.
They also carry patio and outdoor furniture. They have a wide array of statues, Buddhas, Hindu Gods etc. Really neat art for sure.
The sales person had a big smile on his face and talked about a few of the tables and pottery with me.
I really enjoyed my visit here.
Thank you. ~

Excuse me why I tell you about my dream.
I’m a queen who lives in a lavish castle (of course on a vineyard in Tuscany) I wake up daily to meditate in the vineyards, surrounded by spiritual gods and goddess’s. Beautiful fountains, statues, etc…
My entrance gate you are greeted with a 6 foot gong welcoming you. Fountains are abundant throughout the property.
I repeat my mantra’s for worldly peace, love and health. The vines grow ripe and slowly making the perfect juice. It! s apparent they are at complete peace with their surroundings and Mother Earth.
My butler then has breakfast waiting for me on the terrace. Served on gorgeous Asian dishes on a teak wood table. As I walk through the castle it is filled with Buddha’s, Quan Yins, gold and crystal gigantic mirrors with book ends and knock knacks, Singing bowls fill the air everywhere. The eclectic pictures are so large, unique and beautiful that it makes you never want to leave the castle.
I woke up from this lovely dream in this amazing store/​gallery never wanting to leave.
Service was very friendly and they invited us to a Buddha Relics Love Tour in the back. It was free.
We took off our shoes walked through admiring everything. Prayed and received blessings. Truly a wonderful Sunday morning.
Now if only I owned a castle I would want one maybe even two of everything in and outside this gorgeous gallery. Prices are high but this is the real deal. Items shipped in from India, Indonesia, Tibet and China.. Very large pieces that I’m sure weigh tons.
You are what I dream about!!! If there is a better place after we pass this just might be it.

Super ! A treasure in the heart of midtown, super nice people and very different from anything else super calm and zen every time I’m in the neighbor hood i make my round in there and find something new, I love it ! Thx much

We were looking for some sort of Buddha painting and we stumbled into this place. What a treasure!
While we didn’t find exactly what we were looking for — this place had incredible, unique pieces. Also, paintings will be arriving within the next couple of weeks. Their prices were pretty reasonable too.
The staff was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. There are sooo many nooks and crannies filled with great home goodies to wander through.
If you’re looking for Asian contemporary art, furniture, or knick-​knacks — try this place. They also have antique pieces.
